From Kathie Dever's March 1994 Fallsmead Forum Cooking and Entertaining Column: As we hungrily yearn for spring , a holiday approaches which is designed to lift our spirits and celebrate the Irish in us all. A sense of humor, storytelling ability, the appreciation of a variety of spirits and /or fine horseflesh, a love of any thing green, a smile in the eyes. . .if any of these are yours, you're Irish, in spirit, if not in heritage. As such, you should enjoy the following recipe. On one of those raw March days, make corned beef and cabbage (call me if you've lost the crock pot corned beef & cabbage recipe I published here some time ago.) Then mix up a batch of this bread and serve it with a crock of whipped butter and a dessert that is either green, or has Bailey' s Irish Cream liquor in it. I would add a fresh green salad with a fabulous creamy dressing. A meal fit for the king of the leprechauns. Enjoy, then sit before your fire with a sherry glass of Bailey's or Irish whiskey on the rocks and listen to Irish music or read something by an Irish poet.

From Kathie Dever's November 1991 Fallsmead Forum Cooking and Entertaining Column: Home baked bread is so fundamentally wonderful it will fill you and your family with awe. People on the street will catch a whiff of that heavenly aroma and their heads will rivet in your direction and they will be thinking, "Oh, BOY, do I wish I lived in that house!" (Are you listening out there, you real estate agents?) Here is the recipe (from that same heirloom Betty Crocker book that gave me my blueberry pie) that I started baking bread with. My notes are in parentheses.
